Classes are held Sunday morning before our worship service. A rotation of classes is offered from four tracks: Bible, Theology, Contemporary Issues, and Community.

Adult Christian Education | Fall 2015

Pilgrim’s committed to reducing the risk of child abuse. We’ve clear standards in place for our own ministries, including staff, and help support other area ministries reduce their risk too. Please download our Employment/Youth Work Application before beginning your term of service. It’s attached here.

NEWS FLASH: THINGS TODAY ARE DIFFERENT THAN WHEN WE WERE KIDS. Some hear that and stiffen their spine. Others hear that as a relief. But what if we responded in neither way? What if it’s true that people are people but habits and influences change over time? What’s wisdom as we rear little ones in a big city?

From gender and sexual confusion, a slew of new terms and emotional hot-buttons, it’s good to pause and consider together our commitments to our King and our kids. We’ll open informed discussions on what we can know and not know about gender and sexual issues, how to respond in grace, and how to remain hopeful in Jesus despite struggling with ourselves, a society and neighborhood, and our household. Together we’ll seek to listen and speak in Jesus’ wisdom.

Andrea Havens, Bob Heywood, Erik Larsen

Sundays, 9:30am Starting November 22, 29 [2 Sundays]

Hebrews: Part II (Bible)

Originally a sermon (a ‘short message’) Hebrews pulls no punches in showing Jesus as mediator of a better, newer, lasting, eternal, and effective agreement between Heaven (Jesus) and earth (us). A window on the Old Testament in the electric New Testament, Hebrews shines. Let it transport you, so that we all learn to share its message with our network of friends and family.

Gary Devine, M.Div, Rev. Dr. Bill Krispin
